Blue Planet Rulebook (First Edition)

The planet...A waterworld, home to a savage ecology and awash in the mystery of an ancient alien past.

The human race...Desperate and dying on a famine-ravaged Earth, reaches hungrily for the once-forgotten colony world and its promise of ultimate survival.

The Long John...Hidden below the ocean floor, a priceless, enigmatic ore that holds the key to human DNA and the promise of human immortality.

The colony...Transformed into a lawless frontier as mining corporations wage brutal war and colonists fight for the survival of their adopted world.

The aborigines...Inscrutable, powerful, and enraged in defense of a primal heritage as ancient and mysterious as the planet's darkest waters.

The game...A compelling journey into humanity's dark future on a distant planet where life is hard and dying is easy. A world where GEO Marshals enforce the peace and wired mercs patrol deep waters in deadly fighter subs. A place where corporate greed and human desperation ravage an alien ecology, threatening to plunge humanity into a war of survival with an ancient legacy.

Welcome to the World of Blue Planet

This is the First Edition of the Blue Planet™ roleplaying game, originally published by Biohazard Games. The PDF has been produced from a scan of the original book and, as such, may be a larger download than if produced from the digital source files, which are not available. The PDF has been OCR'd to make it searchable. Defects and artifacts are also unavoidable as the conditions of the books used to make scans vary. We have attempted to balance quality and size throughout the process and hope you are happy with the result. The Blue Planet™ First Edition game line is no longer supported.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
